This year, Malaysia had some pretty iconic visits from Korean stars with some for promotional campaigns, headlining concerts or just on short vacations under the sun. Almost always, we get a glimpse of KL city through the lens of visiting idols with them playing tourist in the heart of the city.
Yesterday (23rd July 2025), 2NE1’s Sandara Park (박산다라) shared photos of her recent time in Malaysia on her Instagram. The photos showcase the idol smiling brightly as she walks around Dataran Merdeka and its surrounding historical buildings.
From the multiple photos shared, Dara can be seen in comfortable clothes as she visits historical landmarks such as Dataran Merdeka, The National Library, The Kuala Lumpur City Gallery and The Old Chartered Bank Building. She even includes a photo op with ground markings of Kuala Lumpur’s 50th Golden Jubilee with the caption, “Tourist Dara in #KualaLumpur #Malaysia Such a beautiful city”.
Malaysian netizens flood the comments with well wishes on her time in the city, such as Instagram user @/bielalah who commented, “Hope you had fun in Malaysia, kakak cantik. Hope you ate a lot of good food during your stay”. Netizens have also speculated if this was a throwback photo correlating to spotting Dara among the crowd on the 2nd day of G-Dragon’s concert in Malaysia.
It’s nice that Dara had a fun time while in the city. What do you think of Tourist Dara in KL?
